أَلْيَانُ and
آلَى , of the measure أَفْعَلُ, and
آلٌ , or
أَلًى , or
أَلْىٌ , or
, and
آلٍ , applied to a ram, Large in the
أَلْيَة, q. v.: and so, applied to a ewe, أَلَيَانَةٌ, (T, M, K, [in the CK اَلْيَانَةٌ,]) fem. of أَلَيَانٌ; and
, fem. of آلَى: and in like manner these epithets [masc. and fem. respectively, آلَى, however, being omitted in the M,] are applied to a man and to a woman; or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, آلَى is applied to a man, and عَجْزَآءُ to a woman, but not أَلْيَآءُ, though [it is asserted that] some say this, Yz saying so, accord. to A 'Obeyd, but A 'Obeyd has erred in this matter: the pl. is أُلْىٌ, (T, S, M, K, [in the CK erroneously written with fet-h to the ا,]) pl. of آلَى, or of آلٍ; of the former because an epithet of this kind is generally of the measure أَفْعَلُ, or of the latter after the manner of بُزْلٌ as pl. of بَازِلٌ, and عُودٌ as pl. of عَائِدٌ; applied to rams and to ewes, and to men and to women; and أَلَيَانَاتٌ, (S, M, K, [in the CK اَلْيانات,]) pl. of أَلَيَانَةٌ, [but] applied to rams [as well as ewes], or to women, and, also applied to women, إِلَآءٌ, (M, and so in a copy of the K, [in the CK اَلآء,]) or آلَآءٌ, with medd, pl. of أَلًى, and أَلَايَا, pl. of أَلْيَانُ.
